So sorry about the long absence! We've been working on some super secret things lately and haven't had much time to post. But I just had to try and sneak in a post for February!

If you couldn't tell from the title of this post, I made some hats! I had so much left over fabric from Halloween that I needed to find something fairly easy to make to use it all up. So my sisters suggested I try to make those trendy animal hats that are ridiculously expensive in all the stores.

I agreed and then realized I had never sewn a hat before! So I headed on over to Deviantart to look for some help and found this awesome tutorial for a basic fleece hat. But my sisters wanted the hats to have ear flaps so I had to make up my own pattern for the bottom part of the hats. Then I saw some yarn on sale and went crazy making little dangly hearts in addition to the ear flaps! Anyways on to the hats!

This was actually a happy accident. I was supposed to make my sister a panda hat, but the dye only turned my faux fur gray. So it turned into a wolf husky type thing! hahaha

Cat hat with dangly hearts!

A bird of some kind. It was supposed to be a penguin, but I think it looks more like a cardinal!

This one was my favorite! It's a chompy dinosaur!

It even has spikes running down the back!

Back view of the dinosaur!

A special Hello Kitty hat for my favorite niece!

A group shot with the bear hat, which looks exactly like the cat hat!

Oh and have a random Adventure Time pillow I made for my other sister! It's Jake!

So that's all for this week folks! Happy crafting! And before I forget go like us on Facebook please!!! ♥
